Sup. I'm sorry about not releasing this earlier, I barely had any chances to write the chapter, and I did, this would've been up a week ago. Now here's the thing with this little bit in the next "arc" or season. It's mainy gonna be focused on Maya. Let's begin.
It's been a mere three weeks since the whole rabies situation went down. Everything went back to normal for the town and its residents. Aleu staayed with Aurora for reasons Maya felt wasn't her place to ask. The wolf was rose her head and let up a yawn. Aleu and her best friend were cuddling in the corner, her owner was still asleep, and the pups, Barnum and Ke'yush, were fast alseep ontop of their owner. Obviously this was an opportuinity to roam the streets of Nome onn her own. She rose up from her bed and padded into the living room. In it were tall shelves with books lining the walls a cozy little spot by what her human calls a "fireplace" she made her way over to the doggy door and wasn't prepared ffor the flash sunlight. The she-wolf adjusted to this after a couple of minutes, and made her way down the street.
Normally while walking down the street, you would pay attention to what is ahead of you. Unfortunately this isn't the case for Dingo, Balto's second eldest son, who was out on a daily stroll. Not paying attention would sooner or later end up with you walking into something for whatever the reason, causing an embarassing moment for you, or whoever you bump into. The same could be said to dingo as he walked right into the side of another cainine, "oops! Sorry!" Apologzed the wolfdog, "it's fine. Jus make sure you pay attention while you're out and about," said the wolf, "oh wait! Heyy Dingo, didn't recongonize you at first," greeted Maya, "oh, hey Maya, what're you doing out so early?" It was kind of odd how the she wolf was out and about considering it was 5:00AM, "the same question could be asked to you," retorted the wolf, "and to answer your question, I was just going to go walk around and explore," added the she-wolf, "may I join you?" Asked the dog. Maya had many thoughts about this, one of which being "is he basically asking me out?" And other thoughts went around her skull, "sure!" When those words came out without her knowing "what the fuck did I agree? Especialy when I didn't even think about it?" The two cainines continued down the streets of Nome.
The awkwardness of the silent walk around Nome could be cut with a knife, not wanting te silence to go on any longer, "so, can you tell me the story of how you came across Noome a while ago?" Asked Dingo, he was actually quite curious as to why a wolf would willing be the pet of a human, let alone why one would walk into town, "where do I begin?"
A year earlier
A she wolf after a year of being alone with no friends or family, which isn't good considering she's a social animal, she stumbled upon a pack and den site which she could call home. It wasn't that big of a pack, a maximum of ten wolves including her lived in it. All was going swell, she made a couple of friends, the pack hunted enough to help them get by. One day however, "sir, you know that one human den in our territory?" Asked one of the betas, "yes, I am aware of it, he hasn't done anything to us, so we shalln't do any harm to him," said the alpha, "I know sir, but I've been keeping a close eye on that human, and once saw him pick up what I assumed was a dead wolf pup and bring it home with him last year," informed the beta as he let it sink into the alpha, "what are you implying with this?" Asked Kaymak, "well just recently I saw him leae, potentially to hunt down another caribou, and I saw a wolf, possibly a year old come out of his cabin with a collar on," the alpha couldn't help but feel intrigued by such words coming out of Iam's mouth, "well, let's continue to keep a close eye on them,"but sir, I wasn't finished, the wolf I'm speaking of, actually seemed to enjoy the human's company," finished the beta, "more of a reason to keep an eye on them, possibly capture this pet wolf, and question him." Maya and the rest of the pack was told of this information an hour later, "why the hell would a wolf be in company of one of those pieces of filth?" Asked one of the wolves who looked a t disgusted at the fact, "well, we can't really say much until we meet the wolf," said Maya, "I guess that is true, but it just doesn't sound natural,"
Several months later
"Alright boy, I've got to go into town in-order to get some supplies, be good for me will ya?" Then he was gone "well, he'll be back later, but I can still go explore, nothing could go wrong" thought the wolf as he embarked on a journey which could go on for hours. not even 30 yards away from the home, and he was piinned and knocked out by something he couldn't see.
"Sir! We've caught the pet wolf," said Iam as he and and another wolf who was dragging said wolf by the tail, who was concious again, but didn't dare fight back against the adult wolf that was tiwce his size, "good, let him up, he's still technically a pup, so we shouldn''t be so rough with him," said Kaymak. As the beta was told, he and the other wolf let the wolf up, "hello, before I ask you a few things, let us exchange names, mine is Kaymak," greeted the older wolf, "my name is Aurora, nice to meet you sir," Aurora was aware that one fuck up could end up with him dead, so he tried his best to not be informal about how he would speak for just this moment of time, "wait, Aurora?" Asked Maya as she stood among the other wolves, "yeah, that's my name, why you asked?" The pet wolf was a bit confused at first, and honestly didn't know what, or why he was here, "Maya, do you have hae some history with him?" Asked Kaymak. A gear in the younger wolf's head finally started turning "it couldn't be!" Thought the younger wolf, "yes sir, we were best friends before our pack got wiped out by poachers," explained the she wolf, "well, let us begin with this, afterwards you may get caught up with Maya if you wish," the pet wolf nodded.
"First is why are you living with a human?" The pup closed his eyes as he began recalling a memory that wasn't pleasant, "you see, after me and mother thought we got away from the hunters, I heard a loud bang, and she fell ontop of me. Next thing I know, I was picked up by a human, and was brought to his home. While he let me stay so I could recover, I noticed that he seemed like he was all alone, so I thought instead of leaving when he'd let me go, I'd stay with him. He made sure I was healthy and well fed, and I made sure to keep him him being lonely," answered the young Aurora. Kaymak nodded to the pup's response, "next is does he treat you well?" The pet wolf nodded before, "well, when he isn't on a trip into this town nearby for supplies, or out hunting he's normally there to keep me company with either just being there, or playing with me," a wolf from the pack walked up, "does this human ever shoot wolves, "no, from what I could tell when I was out with him, he saw a bear and didn't shoot it unlesss it tried attacking me, him, or if it had rabies, if he did like shooting wolves for the hell of it, I wouldn't be standing here," reasoned the pet as the wolf nodded, "is that all sir? Because I think he might be back in a few hours," the alpha nodded. Maya walked up to Aurora,"hey Maya, long time, no see," the two spent an hour getting caught up with eachother's lives, and 30 minutes of just playing.
"Shit Aurora's missing!" The human followed the tracks of his beloved pet and so tracks leading into the brush, "shit! He either followed a wolf, or was killed and dragged away by them!" The young man grabbed his revolver and began tracking Aurora's traccks and the mysterious second set of wolf tracks.
An hour later
The human had followed to the end of the tracks, and peeked into a clearing, his pet wolf was playing with a wolf in a pack, "hmpf, he had me worried, ain't gonna punish him this time, seeing as this is normal for pack animals, they wanna be around other animals of their of species sometimes." The man got up and started walking up, "hey Aurora!" All the wolvees turned their head to the voice. The pet wolf ran towards his friend, "heya boy!" Then he started scratching the back of his pet's ears, not noticing Maya approaching him, "Aurora, what is he doing?" Questioned the she-wolf as the wolf in question leaned into his owner's hand with every scratch,"he's just petting me, it feels good when he pets me in the right places," answered Aurora as his tail continued wagging, "you must be Aurora's friend!" Exclaimed Palan as he turned his attention to her. He stretched his arm out, "what is he trying too do?" Asked Iam as he turned his head to Kaymak, "I do not know, but do be ready if he causes harm to her," their jaws immediately droppped to the ground when the human began petting Maya, "well then, perhaps not all humans are disgusting pieces of filth that just kill things for fun."
Present day
"Then afterwards whenever Aurora came visited the pack, the human, Palan came with him, eventually they did leave to Nome, Alaska at the time, and I simply followed them and their train." Dingo's eyes widened, "wait, hold up! The pack didn't try to kill Palan once?" Asked the wolfdog, "nope, the leader of the pack figured the human wasn't gonna kill anybody after that, so did the rest of the pack," the two looked up at the skyy, "wow, that story killed a lott more time thhan what I thought it would, I'll see ya later," Dingo then ran off, probably to his human's home. Maya turned around and began heading back home as well, mainly because it was 9:00AM and she hadn't eaten anything yet.
Thanks for reading, buh-bye!
